Essentials

Whenever the winds of trouble and change blow—across our world or through our lives—we naturally turn to those things we can count on. We want to know what's solid, lasting, and reliable ... and what's not. We want to gain a fresh grip on truths that will steady us, sustain us, secure us, and then release us to accomplish and experience all that God intends for our lives.

In the pages of this book, pastor, author, and evangelist Greg Laurie opens up a wide panorama of biblical truth—from the Person of God to heaven and hell, from navigating these times to preparing for the last times. Standing on these life essentials will bring confidence and hope in a turbulent, fast-changing world.
